Focused housing

NAU Campus Living offers several “Focused Housing” options to enhance opportunities for interested students to connect, live, and learn together around focused topics and common interests. Through community-building activities, educational opportunities, networking, academic support, and social and cultural events, community members can deepen their learning and understanding, reduce social isolation, and build lasting connections within a supportive environment.

Focused housing is an option open to all students who live on campus. Interested students apply by answering questions in the housing portal about what they hope to gain or learn by living in focused housing and how they plan to contribute to the community.  With a limited number of spaces in each community, please note that demand may exceed space availability. Consult the housing portal for information regarding availability.
